A third party for Alberta?

I read an interesting post on www.daveberta.ca this evening. Check it out here.

I've been a card-carrying Conservative, both federally and provincially, for as long as I've been a card-carrying anything. My family and friends, predictably, are Conservative as well (both big "C" and small "c").

Of late, especially provincially, I find myself separated from politics. It all seems so hopeless anymore: I find it obvious that larger forces are in play in Alberta politics than I could possibly approach or even understand.

I find Ed Stelmach to be less than adequate, David Swann an untested but seemingly erratic leader, and other options, well, non-existent.

I think that a third party in Alberta could appeal to a large portion of untapped voter resources: a silent majority. Majorities have rights too, sometimes.... With voter turnouts abysmally low, surely the silent have something to say, but haven't found the way to say it.

I would throw whatever resources I may have (limited they may be) behind a properly configured third option in Alberta. And in Canada, for that matter.
